Cheap bottles

(Verse 1)

Sunrise paints the room, another day begins

But the shadows linger, the battle from within

My hands are shaking, my head is in a haze

Lost in the wreckage of these wasted days

I see your face, etched with worry and despair

Knowing I'm the cause, this burden you must bear

(Chorus)

This ain't a choice, it's a grip I can't release

A monster inside me, stealing my inner peace

I'm screaming for help, but the words just fade away

Trapped in this darkness, lost more every day

I see the pain I inflict, the tears you try to hide

And the fear takes hold, knowing I could die inside

(Verse 2)

I try to quit, I swear I give my all

But the cravings whisper, and I stumble and I fall

The world shrinks down, to this burning, aching need

Ignoring the whispers of the love I'll supersede

I see your outstretched hand, a lifeline in the night

But I'm too far gone, lost in the fading light

My hand reaches out, not for your loving touch

But for the bottle, I crave it so much

(Chorus)

This ain't a choice, it's a grip I can't release

A monster inside me, stealing my inner peace

I'm screaming for help, but the words just fade away

Trapped in this darkness, lost more every day

I see the pain I inflict, the tears you try to hide

And the fear takes hold, knowing I could die inside

(Bridge)

I know I'm hurting you, more than words can say

This self-destruction, it eats me away

I see the future, a vision stark and clear

A lonely grave, fueled by all this fear

And the thought of leaving you, alone in this world

Shatters my heart, a banner unfurled

But the craving's stronger, the pull is too deep

I reach for the bottle, while you silently weep

(Verse 3)

I want to change, I yearn to break these chains

But the addiction whispers, driving me insane

I'm caught in the crossfire, a battle I can't win

Knowing the darkness will swallow me from within

I see your love, a beacon in the night

But I'm afraid to reach, afraid of the light

The bottle's in my hand, a temporary fix

A false sense of comfort, a cruel, deadly trick

(Chorus)

This ain't a choice, it's a grip I can't release

A monster inside me, stealing my inner peace

I'm screaming for help, but the words just fade away

Trapped in this darkness, lost more every day

I see the pain I inflict, the tears you try to hide

And the fear takes hold, knowing I could die inside

(Outro)

Is there a way out, a chance to break free?

Or am I destined to this tragic destiny?

I pray for the strength, to fight this raging war

Before the darkness claims me, and I'm no more.

Help me, please, help me, I don't know what to do

Before I lose you, and myself too. The bottle's empty, and so am I.
